I love how what us Americans call a calorie is actually a kcal, meaning k as in thousand.  So if you say you eat 2,000 calories per day, what you're actually saying is that you eat 2,000,000 calories per day.

Hush! That this is not widely known is how I can excuse my beer and icecream habits by comparing temperatures! 🤣 Also why pizza demands cold beer.

@plutarch @ai6yr

while mine was based on 1 cal to move 1 cc 1℃ and had one publisher, the sort who'd hit the hotel gym first, completely befuzzled until (next morning) I explained kCal. But no matter, perhaps I can just switch to the REAL beer diet:
